Hawaiian Coasters 325

So are they going to project the announcement on the FOF building? Like the plain white wall on top of the entrance that used to say Press Area (please bring that back).

So the announcement is at 10. So will the park still close at 8 except that area or will the park stay open the extra 2 hours?

https://www.wcpo.com/money/consumer/dont-waste-your-money/kings-island-to-announce-major-new-ride-next-thursday Here's WCPO's story on this.

John Matarese got it so it's definitely not photoshopped.

John Matarese got it!

He also does it in a nice manner and not in a manner that can come across as bullying like one user in the comments on these types of videos does.

Guessing it's either what we've been waiting for or just Chad trolling. But hey it matches up to what parks send media before an announcement.

Kings Island does very well for being a regional park. Cedar Point gets the most because they bring in the most revenue for the chain. I don't believe we'll see Kings Island become a destination park, but KI will continue to get new rides and attractions.

LOL I love it!

Next Friday, Awesome! I hope they give us new teases becuase now it feels like this campaign is going so slowly and getting boring. I would have rather them spaced the posters out if they planned on announcing the ride nearly a month after the first poster went up. Remember just a rumor. I'm already betting on the 15th.

Finally got a response from John Matarese!

If they don't put in a tunnel imo they are missing out. A tunnel would go well with a space style themed coaster.

What I would love is a tunnel at the bottom of the first drop similar to Leviathan. Above ground since it would be on the blueprints if it were underground.

So Don or Chad is the decision maker? Also, what was the time frame from the stuff sent to the media and the announcement for Banshee? MT was 10 days (said above) was Banshee the same or different?

I messaged John Matarese today saying vertical construction should begin soon and showing him the screenshot from Reddit. Just waiting on a response.

I was thinking, I know you had to put your email on the petition when you signed it. What if that was for when they got a certain number, they'll send an email to you telling you the announcement date and time!

If that's the base of the lift, the spine should be pointing down not outwards.

I don't think any park would want to theme something along the Holocaust. Also why I hate those Hitler parodies on YouTube.

Looking at the blueprints, it looks like you will get some great views of this coaster when standing in front of the antique cars. As well as this and Racer interacting. Maybe we'll be able to catch both this and Racer going at the same time!

I love rewatching WCPO Kings Island videos lol.

I really like the clamshells. I prefer lapbars than any over the shoulder harness.

They should just call the coaster Gyroscope lol

I hate to burst your bubble guys, but I don't think we are looking at an inversion of any kind here.

1,500 was the number yesterday they wanted to reach. They keep extending it.

I think something like this would be cool. Only if Cedar Fair would work with Intamin again which I know isn't likely.
